You opened the cap when the car was running? Then it's normal. If it was bubbling long after the car was stopped you might have a little drowning man trapped way down in the steering rack... Or fluid is gushing out of a seal...

You mean you saw the fluid moving around through the reservoir? That's fine. Check for leaks but I wouldn't worry about it.
